Come Play With Me- Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn!

The wonderful Kat from kat's colourings chose the perfect theme for this time of the year. When I think of Autumn, I imagine beautiful warm colours. Reds, browns, olive greens and golds, I just love these colours, especially when it comes to eye shadows. In an attempt not to miss out, I quickly come up with a couple of looks. Forgive me for not taking pics of what I used, I have been crazy busy lately, and just didn't have the time or energy.

 Face: Models Prefer BB cream in Light
Ja-De foundation
Coastal Scents concealer quad palette
ANF Apricot finishing powder
Sleek Rose Gold blush

 Eyes: On my lids I used the 88 Warm Palette. Now please don't ask me which shades, because I have enough trouble remembering the correct shades to go back to during application!
L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara.

 Lips: Revlon Colour Balm Stain with a gold shimmer dabbed onto the center lip area.







I also created some Autumn nails, however it didn't turn out quite how I had envisioned, oh well. Anyway, I used a gold base colour. I then randomly dabbed on orange, red and bronze polishes and with the help of my handy ziplock bag, I smudged the colours together.


As you can see, I am leaving my index finger out of the pics because I didn't take photos last night and it chipped pretty badly today, grrrr.

    Sweetie this is just beautiful! Your eyes look so dreamy and that gold shimmer in the centre of your lips is perfect! I'm definitely stealing that idea ha ha...
    And who cares what you envisioned for your nails, they're fabulous - like an Autumn watercolour painting by one of the master artists. Adore the whole creation hon!

    I hate when I do my nails for the blog and they chip before I get to take a photo!! I usually do mine at night and while I could photograph them because I have a light box I just can't be bothered!

    Love what you've created, the colours on your nails are so pretty!

      OMG, I was so annoyed. I would have tolerated a small chip, but this was half the nail look. Serves me right for being lazy, I guess

    I couldn't agree with you more! Whenever I use my BH cosmetics 120 palette, I ALWAYS forget which colour I was using. I'm glad it's not just me! Haha I love your autumn nails by the way!

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
